Volume 24 Issue # 9 COVER STORY
This month's cover, designed by Senior Art Director Tom Staebler and photographed
by Paul Gremmler, features three Playmates who really didn't need the extra
padding: Denise Michele, Hope Olson and Lisa Sohm. Readers who remember our
Playmates-onbaseball-cards cover and pictorial last October will recognize the
touch of Staebler, who is an ardent campaigner for equal opportunity in sports.
